Sort:Latest reviewsBest aspect is the campus and the variety of great lecturers Worst aspect is the city itself as it feels a little empty
I would like to see more gluten free and lactose free food items on campus
It’s amazing, the amount of importance they give to mental health and research is great
best experience - meeting new people from different backgrounds, and especially on course being able to discover new texts worst experience - deadlines are stressful and there is some strange people on campus
Love the campus feel of university especially the first year accommodation being grouped together, it means it’s quite easy to make friends and get to know people. The education department is really friendly and is always ready to help you with anything.
Campus is really nice and all the staff are so friendly. No power cuts during storms would be nice.
The atmosphere in the university is good.
It offers a vibrant student life with a diverse range of clubs and societies and is renowned for its excellent teaching and research. The city of Aberdeen itself provides a beautiful historic landscape, a lively nightlife, and a wide range of sports and outdoor activities, making it an ideal location for students. One area of concern I'd like the University of Aberdeen to address is the simplification and streamlining of the student appeals and complaints process, making it more user-friendly and less daunting for students who may already be dealing with stressful situations.
The campus feels very inclusive and friendly, with spaces to study, to chat with friends, to relax and so on. The student support seems more of a formality, they share tips of this and that without offering real help (e.g. financial support) in my experience.
The university is very welcoming and diverse.
Best: the facilities like new lab Worst: lack of communication between students
When you are able to be on campus and have learning that is both partially directed and independent has been a great experience. The times when you are isolated and when you are unable to access facilities can be very tough.

University is a great place to study because it offers numerous opportunities and resources unavailable elsewhere. I personally get some benefits from this: Access to experienced and knowledgeable professors and lecturers who can guide and support students. The opportunity to study a wide range of subjects in depth and with a focus on research and critical thinking. However, universities could be improved in several ways, including providing better support for students with disabilities, mental health issues, or other challenges. Providing more opportunities for students to gain practical experience in their field of study, such as internships, work placements, or research projects.
Great place to study because of the facilities and the campus, especially the library!! Maybe having more student support and more small activities for those who are shy and don't feel like coming to bigger gatherings
It has two different campus' , which have a different feel. The Old Aberdeen campus has a rustic feel due to its older buildings, whereas the Forester hill Campus is located a bit away and is connected to the Hospital.
Facilities like library, lecture theatres etc are nice but I wish the main campus was closer to the city centre
Amazing uni
The facilities are impeccable, especially the library.

Great staff and students, thorough student support services and signposting. Could benefit from upgraded facilities. The old buildings are beautiful on the outside but the inside classes often have technical difficulties and need repairs. The library design is empty and unpleasant, most much prefer studying in cafes or empty classrooms. Library could do with being homelier
Online and blended learning does not work as well as in-person. I find it hard to get to know lecturers and staff. Not many opportunities to build a lasting relationship. Office hours are common but hard to find and attend.
